The invention relates to a disk brake having at least one brake disk rotationally mounted about a rotational axis and having a brake caliper (10), comprising a support (11) permanently attached to the vehicle, a caliper housing (16) and at least one brake lining (8). The support and the caliper housing axially encompass the brake disk, wherein the caliper housing and the brake lining are displaceably arranged on the support (11) in an axial direction. The caliper housing (16) comprises an axially inner housing leg facing the vehicle, an outer housing leg and a housing bridge. The outer housing leg comprises at least two housing fingers (18) substantially extending in a radial direction. Said housing fingers span a side window (20) that is arranged in between and is open toward the rotational axis. The housing fingers (18) each comprise an end section (21) facing the rotational axis. A guard screen (25) covers the end sections (21) of the housing fingers (18) completely and covers a section of the side window (20) facing the rotational axis. An outer dimension of the guard screen in a circumferential direction is selected such that a transition between the guard screen and the housing fingers in the axial projection is substantially configured in a stepless manner.
